Most of my college career was spent writing essays. If it wasn't an essay, it was a discussion board or prompt requiring a 200-500 word response. As such, I am very familiar with writing pieces of var... ying lenghts. Part of essay writing is conferring with peers, workshopping a body of words until it is the very best it can be. I have edited and brainstormed with others in my same or similar field and taken that knowledge to help those with interest in a completely different area. My expertise with both writing and teaching writing covers people who just need a second opinion and people who struggle with putting the pen to paper.read more

Hi there! My name is Jaclyn and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I went to San Diego State University where I achieved my Bachelor's Degree in Comparative Literature in 3 years! I was able to do this becaus... e of the diligence of both myself and my high school teachers. They prepared me for the AP exams so that I could go into my freshman year of college with more credits than most. Through my experience as a mentor to a couple younger students, I learned it was not just the perseverance of my teachers which led to my success. It was the relationships they cultivated with me and my willingness to learn which propelled me forward. Teaching, tutoring, mentoring--all of these are dependent on there being trust on both sides. The only goal is helping the student reach a place where they can take charge of their own learning, to get back on track. I want to do just that--help struggling students regain their confidence in themselves and truly understand what they are reading and writing, so they can go on never fearing that their words might be mistaken. My favorite thing in the world is reading, always has been and always will be. This passion for being transported to another world made it easy to pick a major and eventually to find a calling. With reading comes profiency in writing. Everything I've read charges up my creativity and inspires me to no end. Writing becomes an outlet and a challenge, something to turn the gears in my head and keep me busy. But the cherry on top of these interests is editing. Peers often look to me, trust me, to take their creations and polish them off. I ensure their best foot is always the one put forward. Seeing and helping others reach their peak and go beyond is why I love what I do.read more
